I am very proud of our member here Judi - She has put a serious meaning to a village to raise a chi--erm... tank. Im just glad to see such a great new discus keeper. Shes going to be giving me tips in no time!

Think with logic and rationality more than emotion. Act with moderation and consideration. Contemplate ideals and realistic goals and weigh out possibilities and options. Temper not with personal delusions or false hope but learn to accept and move on.

Seriously blushing now. I'm really lucky to be surrounded by supportive villagers who have shared not only their knowledge but a great deal of patience in helping me along this journey. There have been many times (especially since placing my order with Kenny) that I have doubted myself and my ability to raise the lovely Discus that will soon be delivered to my doorstep but then I remind myself that I will do without hesitation whatever it takes to provide them with a home they can thrive in. In reality all that will take is lots and lots and lots of clean stable water, a nutritious diet, a huge amount of TLC and the continued support of those who have been there to respond to every little question no matter how trivial without making me feel like an idiot for asking .

Sandz, I highly doubt I will be giving you tips any time soon but if that breeding pair of yours doesn't get to it soon I may have fry before you!!

HA! Yes, if that isn't the truth!!! I purposely took a Friday delivery date so I could literally watch every breath they take and every move they make!!!!

The only thing planned for that weekend is taking my mom to dinner for her birthday on Sunday. We'll be half way through dessert and I'll be waving my arms "check please" gotta go!!!!

Here's an idea. Have a dinner table set up in front of the discus QT tank. Order out and have your hb pick it up and serve/clean up after. It'll be like taking your mom out and you get to watch the fishes. They'll probably stare at you wondering what you're doing and if you will feed them. Lol
